HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE Daisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife.One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed.“Where do you want to go？” it asked.Daisy responded immediately.“I’d like to see some endangered wildlife，” she said.“Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater.” At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet.There Daisy saw an 译文助读 antelope looking sad.It said，“We’re being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs.Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you.As a result，we are now an endangered species.”At that Daisy cried，“I’m sorry I didn’t know that.I wonder what is being done to help you.Flying carpet，please show me a place where there’s some wildlife protection.” The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe.Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by an elephant. “Have you come to take my photo？” it asked.In relief Daisy burst into laughter.“Don’t laugh，”said the elephant，“We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy.They said we destroyed their farms，and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies.So the government decided to help.They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing.So good things are being done here to save local wildlife.” Daisy smiled.“That’s good news.It shows the importance of wildlife protection，but I’d like to help as the WWF suggests.”The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest.A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself.“What are you doing？”asked Daisy.“I’m protecting myself from mosquitoes，”it replied.“When I find a millipede insect，I rub it over my body.It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes.You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together.
